"The GOP needs a bogeyman in the midterms. The border crisis is over, DEI has been purged, and the panic over transgender bathrooms is getting old. What can House Republicans run against?

Many are turning to a familiar answer: Muslims."

"Sometimes the caucus cites polls showing that many #American Muslims support Islamic influence in #government...

But nobody in the caucus mentions the much higher numbers among American #Christians responding to similar questions... Among white #evangelicals, 81% said the #UnitedStates should be a #Christian nation, and 65% said the Bible should override the people’s will."

"Tuberville didn’t mention where the Sharia-Free America Caucus originated.... at the #WhiteHouse Christmas party. To these men, religious observance in #political office is perfectly innocent, as long as the observance is #Christian.

The Sharia-Free America Caucus isn’t just a #fraud. It’s the opposite of what it pretends to be.
👉Its founders and members avidly support #religious control of #government."👈 👀 ‼️
